Adaptive Front-Lighting System

The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) redirects low-beam headlamps individually in a horizontal direction in accordance with steering angle and vehicle speed. As a result, this system can improve visibility during night-time cornering, ensuring safer driving.

DENSO’s products developed for the world’s first AFS, include:

  • AFS ECU that calculates the swivel angle using steering angle and vehicle speed information, as a vehicle turns a corner.
  • Swivel motor that focuses the low-beam headlamps in the direction of the turn in accordance with the swivel angle, illuminating the road ahead at a wider angle.
The AFS ECU also calculates vehicle incline using the vehicle height, and controls a leveling motor based on the incline to maintain the headlamp’s vertical axis.

DENSO is currently working on a predictive AFS which is linked to the navigation mapping system. Please see our new technology section for more information.
